ael,
"but your habit of not commenting on most of your changesets did

sort of comment, even if brief, and maybe repetitive where you are doing
similar things."
Yes, this was part of my confusion. I saw at least three accounts with
apparently similar behaviour: very active mappers, lots of changesets,
but virtually no changeset comments. It appeared to be related, or maybe
even three accounts of the same user...
Of course, this was all only circumstantial evidence, but I have also
advised Dyserth to add changeset comments to make review and recognition
of legit edits at least a bit more easy.

This is very unfortunate. I am surprised to hear that you did not
receive any private messages.
As I said in an earlier email, the only mapper whose contributions were
problematical in my area was Sam88, and I contacted him/her *and* had a
polite reply.
It seems that you were just caught as a side effect after you had also
tried to clean up, but again you should have had a message at the very
least.
After you have suffered this unwarranted criticism, I am hesitant to say
this, but your habit of not commenting on most of your changesets did
contribute to people's suspicion. I really would urge you to make some
sort of comment, even if brief, and maybe repetitive where you are doing
similar things.
